About

At Happy Dog Spot, we want you and your dog to feel like family. You want what’s best for your dog, and we do too.

Genny gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot that she literally drags me up the stairs and runs into the back with hardly a backward glance at me. Tracy, Copper, Diane, and all the staff genuinely love our girl, and you can tell! She has stayed at HDS probably a couple dozen times, and I continue to be very pleased.

— K. Hite from Angie’s List

Kairo is not only happy after his day at Happy Dog Spot, but he is thoroughly exhausted—he comes home ready to eat his dinner and naps while we eat ours!  The staff at HDS have taught him to be more obedient, as well as his increased social skills with the other dogs give us total peace of mind.  We LOVE everyone at HDS!!

— Linda Hanson

While we’re at work, it’s a wonderful feeling to know that our Yorkie dog is in a safe and secure environment.  As he is a rescue dog, he is now much happier and healthier since coming to HDS.  We can’t thank the staff enough for their time and attention they give him and us.  He really enjoys his time there and is a very happy dog when he comes home after a busy day of play.

— Phil Hanson

We could not have found a more friendly, affordable place to leave our dog during extended family vacations. Happy Dog spot offers a clean friendly environment with lots of play time and space to run and play. The awesome staff  is always friendly and caring with all the dogs and their owners. I always walk away assured that my dog will be well cared for as if she were one of their own.

— Sara W.

Happy Dog Spot has watched over our two greyhounds since 2007.  We have used the daycare and overnight boarding services regularly.  We know our dogs are tended to personally as they love going there.  The staff at HDS know the personalities and needs of our dogs and go out of their way to accommodate them and us…  We are very fortunate to have found great friends and support at HDS.

— Keith Willy and Carmen Quenzer

Clean, Positive Environment

We designed our 10,000 square-foot facility in Rock Hill to provide a clean, safe and enjoyable experience for all types of dogs. Our unique design allows for dogs to be separated into different play groups based on play-style and temperament.  Each play group is escorted to one of our outdoor play yards on a regular schedule through out the day. We focus on lots of stimulating, interactive play for your dog. Game of fetch anyone?
